GENESIS by Akoni

Take a second look. And maybe a third. You’re bound to notice. The skill and savvy needed to create this frame are of the highest level— or, as Akoni designers explain, “there’s definitely an art in being able to make something that is so sophisticated appear so minimal and simplified.” The Genesis, despite its thin lines, relies on a great amount of impressive embellishment and masterful technical solutions. The skilled craftsmanship, in particular, is exemplary—since it is far from easy to create these thin, many-leveled lines in titanium. In sum, this is a design that plays with many paradoxes—lightweight yet bold, minimal yet complicated, sleek yet multi-faceted. It’s worth that second look.
